Shedding Light
on Racism
Historical
anti-lynching
dramas tell story
Portland homegrown theater
company Triangle Productions is
continuing a Brown Paper Bag
series to shed light on the history
of racism in America to inspire
an open dialogue about ways in
which these historical events af-
fect us today.
Chosen out of several doz-
en “anti-lynching” plays, most-
ly written by African American
women between 1916 and 1934,
are four one-acts which are being
presented by Triangle over the
next few months.
The next performance will be
a theatrical reading of ‘The For-
feit,’ Corrie Crandall Howell’s
1925 story of a white woman who
facilities the lynching of a young
black man for a crime someone
else committed. The show will
take place Wednesday, Feb. 22
at The Sanctuary at Sandy Pla-
za, 1785 N.E. Sandy Blvd. at 7
p.m. and stars a cast of Portland
favorites, Salim Sanchez, Ken-
neth Dembo, Jennifer Lanier, and
Josie Seid. A discussion will fol-
low the reading.
Tickets are $5 and all seats are
general admission. For more in-
formation, call 503-239-5919 or
